Holy crap, was anyone expecting this to happen right now? Conan O’Brien has just been confirmed to begin a new show in November on basic-cable channel TBS. There was a lot of speculation that Conan would land on either FOX or HBO, but it turns out that the rumors weren’t accurate: TBS will be Conan’s newest home, featuring a one-hour nightly show. For more details, see the fanatical commentary below, my gentle Examiner readers…

The news just broke that Conan O’Brien isn’t headed to FOX, after all. The red-headed funnyman has just revealed that he’ll be airing a new, one-hour show nightly on TBS starting this November. The news comes on the opening day of Conan’s Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE

Conan O’Brien is currently shaping up for his “Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour”, while also trying to smooth out the wrinkles in a proposed deal to host a new talkshow on FOX starting in January. Dude’s busy, but– according to sources from “Team Coco”– that’s not why he’s taken himself out of the running to host this year’s Tony Awards on CBS. Is this just another restriction outlined in his “gag order” from NBC, or did Conan just not have time to host the Tony’s? We’ve got the details below, my gentle Examiner readers…CLICK to continue . . .

Ten minutes into the episode, I grabbed a sheet of paper and began taking notes, praying that there’d be enough goings-on to be snarky about (shout out to TVSnark.com, by the way; if you’ve never been, check it out– good people over there) for an entire article. The notes I compiled are more interesting than the show itself, really, and especially entertaining once I realized that I had no idea what some of what I jotted down meant: that’s how forgettable the proceedings were on this episode.

Ah, the anonymity of the internet: a boon for those unwilling to be outspoken in their day to day lives. The internet is also a hotbed of rabid “Jon & Kate” fans– many of whom feel inclined to defend their favorite Gosselin in emails to the Comedy Examiner. Here, the Comedy Examiner responds to these pressing inquiries regarding America’s favorite non-couple!

This is the first time the Comedy Examiner’s desk has run an article based entirely on feedback from a previous article (or, in this case, a pair of articles*). On average, each article that comes to the Examiner from your humble author generates half a dozen or so emails, and in 60% of cases, these emails basically come down to: “Waaah!”

HERE’S A QUOTE FROM PART OF THE ARTICLE:

Jon never was ‘ABUSED’ by her during there marriage…I know KAte Gosselin and I think you should know that she is a great mother. What is she supposed to do? Quit the show? Live on the streets? Join the army?…I know things about Jon that she hasn’t told anyone and she could sue him for alot of money…
